In Alberta, several plants are cultivated primarily for their roots, including root vegetables like carrots, beets, and potatoes. Additionally, crops such as sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) and parsnips thrive in the province's climate. These plants are valued not only for their nutritional benefits but also for their adaptability to Alberta's growing conditions. Farmers often focus on these root crops for both local consumption and broader markets.
Epiphytic roots are specialized roots found on plants that grow above the ground, without needing soil. These roots help the plant attach to trees or rocks, absorb moisture from the air, and sometimes collect nutrients. Epiphytic plants are commonly found in tropical forests.
Perhaps. There are water plants however that have roots, stems, and leaves.
Air plants.
Some examples of plants that can be grown in water and then eaten include lettuce, spinach, bok choy, and mint. These plants can be cultivated in a water-based system such as hydroponics, where the roots are submerged in nutrient-rich water instead of soil. This method can provide a clean and efficient way to grow fresh produce.
To separate plants with intermingled roots, gently tease the roots apart using your fingers or a garden fork. Be careful not to damage the roots as you separate the plants. Water the plants well after transplanting to help them recover from the disturbance.
There are no plants in Alberta that are grown for "stem."
Strawberries are berries grown on plants.
Cotton, fibre flax, hemp
There are four groups of plants you should rotate: plants grown for leaves and flowers; plants grown for fruits; plants grown for roots; and legumes that feed the soil.

Plants ranging from grasses to edible crops (cereals and roots, etc) are grown on fields:
potatos are grown in zone 3 which is in Adelaide, South Australia
To separate plants that have grown together, carefully dig around the base of each plant to loosen the roots. Gently pull the plants apart, being careful not to damage the roots. Replant each plant in a new location with fresh soil and water thoroughly.
No.
Plug plants are young plants, usually seedlings, grown in individual cells of compost enabling them to be pricked out or transplanted without disturbing the roots.
Monkeytail plants are usually grown by seed, so probably not.
The Wild Rose is grown pretty much everywhere in Alberta, and is found everywhere, if you know where to look.
